Current reports on occupational earnings and supplementary wage practices in the Louisville area are also available for fluid milk (April I960), power laundries and dry cleaners (April I960), and banking (May I960). Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels, are available for the following trades or industries: Building construction, printing, local-transit operating employees, and motortruck drivers and helpers. in 2 ^ The Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly conducts areawide wage surveys in a number of important industrial centers. The studies, made from late fall to early spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A preliminary report is available on completion of the study in each area, usually in the month following the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the earlier report. A consolidated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of all of the year *s surveys is issued after completion of the final area bulletin for the current round of surveys.
